Cowabunga! Winter is the best time to catch waves on this side of Kyushu so we’ve prepared a guide to everything you need to know to enjoy surfing around Fukuoka. Slip on a wetsuit, like this month’s cover model, Martine Strøm Thomassen, and get out there! Our snapshot page has a little of everything for everyone: including a report on the re-opening of Boathouse Ohori, Strawberry Picking Guide, Kujukujima Day Trip, and a report on a Zazen Experience. Our gourmet report goes deep in local delicacies with a report on Ganso Hakata Mentai. And our interview is with Ollie Horn, the man and comic talent who is single handedly starting up a regular live English language comedy scene in the city. Yeah! We also have information on the various St. Patrick’s Day events, so you’ll know where to show off your green threads and enjoy some smooth Guinness. Pick up a hard copy of Fukuoka Now at all the usual spots or download the PDF. Even more goodies waiting for you on the Fukuoka Now website!
